Discord is our home. It’s where we hold the Power-Up Digital Games Conference since the first one in July 2016. It is a social platform for communication among gamers (or anyone really), which takes the best parts of multiple communication platforms and puts them together in an easy to use place on any device.

Testimonials

“I’ve always said that this is an event that you can participate in and be a part of while wearing your pajamas. The fact that you can enjoy this anywhere, at no cost, is part of the Conference’s DNA. I’m here to help the game dev community and this is my way of giving back.”
